Ergometry
About
Ergometry, also known as a stress test or exercise test, is a medical procedure used to assess cardiac function and cardiovascular health. This test measures the heart's response to physical exertion to detect possible problems with blood flow to the heart muscle.
Candidate
Ergometry is recommended for individuals who have symptoms of heart problems, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms indicating cardiac issues. It can also be used to assess the risk of heart disease or to monitor the condition of patients who already have cardiac issues.
Preparation
Before the test, the patient typically does not require any specific preparation. However, they may be advised to avoid consuming food or drinks containing caffeine before the test. It is also important for the patient to follow the physician's instructions regarding the intake or cessation of certain medications.
Treatment
During ergometry, the patient usually rides a stationary bicycle or runs on a treadmill while the heart's activity is monitored. A physician or technician monitors heart rhythms and other parameters to assess how the heart reacts to the exertion.
Result
Ergometry provides information on how the heart responds to physical stress, which can help detect blood flow problems or cardiac arrhythmias. The results are used to diagnose heart problems and determine possible treatment or therapy steps.
Precautions
During ergometry, the patient should follow the instructions of the medical staff and ensure that all electrical sensors are properly placed. It is also essential for the patient to prepare for physical exertion during the test and to inform the physician of any concerns or symptoms during the procedure.
ZagrebMed patient reviews
I made a medical checkup trip from Sweden to Croatia at 9-11 October.
The trip was organized by ZagreMed. All went smoothly. We were greeted in airport and guided to hotel.
We had on time support with any questions regarding clinic and procedures as well as any additional services we would like to get in clinic.
Personal was kind and friendly, supportive. Clinic is very new and modern. All procedures were completed from 7 to 13. Some follow up was done with therapist a day later (after obtaining all results) who was available by email.
I will keep doing these checks periodically in Zagreb. Unfortunately, we do not have such high-quality medical checkup service in Sweden. Time and money wise it absolutely worth spending couple of days in Zagreb and get all results as well as see the city and try great Croatian food. Special thanks to Ivan and Maria who made it happen.
Extremely helpful and friendly staff. I got the required check-up and service earlier than expected. Thank you ZagrebMed for your great service, expertise and overall experience.
I got the medical service through ZagrebMed. Great user experience due to the professional approach from these people. I recommend them to everyone in need of swift access to medical services.
